Justin was right about the whole nocturnal thing! For some of you, it's already Wednesday, whereas I am about to go out and celebrate Veteran's Day by getting good and smashed, like veterans do. What a bad guest blogger I am. The entries won't always come in a night-owl chunk, though.
Does anyone else think it’s weird that Christian Bale is both Bruce Wayne/Batman AND John Connor in the upcoming Terminator film? Greedy much, CB? Let someone else be a superhero! One franchise per brooding indie actor-cum-action star from now, k, Hollywood?
That actually has almost nothing to do with what I’m about to say, but it kinda bugs. What I really want to talk about is REAL machines taking over our future.
Namely, my Tivo. I think it’s getting smarter.
Seriously. It keeps coming up with ways to outsmart me. Sometimes it decides to take the week off from recording ANY shoes, like it did last week. Other times, it randomly selects just one show to skip out on. Yet it somehow KNOWS to choose only the one I want to watch the most. Sometimes it records the wrong channel, sometimes it records just black, but never on the same show and never all at the same time. Tivo knows that with all the crazy wires that took me 3 hours to properly set up when I first got it, I won’t go messing around with it in any serious way, because it’s too hard and confusing. Tivo knows I will let it get away with anything, and that I cannot live without it.
Tivo is my master. And I think it’s starting to figure it out. Sometimes when I’m watching it, I see that little red eye that means it’s recording another show, and I have to wonder…is IT watching ME, too?
